    <body><![CDATA[I met Susan Hermann Loomis when I attended her cooking school, On Rue Tatin, outside of Paris in the spring of 2007, and that's where I purchased her cookbook. And while it is over a decade old, it's still available from some retailers and is astonishingly relevant in 2008. Susan was on a mission to meet local farmers and purchase only the freshest local ingredients from farmers she knew and trusted to create authentic French recipes long before you heard about CSAs or grass fed beef here in Colorado. She spent a good deal of time and energy seeking out these farmers in France and compiling a collection of recipes that reflect the bounty of that France has to offer and the simplicity of many farmhouse recipes.<br/><br/>While the recipes I cooked while visiting On Rue Tatin were not exactly the ones contained in the book, they echoed the simplicity and authenticity of Susan's cookbook and I can tell by perusing the book that the recipes will be easy to make and delicious to taste. For an easy start, try the simple aioli with vegetables - we had this for dinner one evening in Louviers and it was suprisingly satisfying. Better yet, be adventurous and try something so very French as rabbit - I did!]]></body>
